The recent contracting process by East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust has culminated in the award of a contract for out-of-hours emergency interventional radiology cover. This procurement falls under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 and does not adhere to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. It targets the medical hospital services industry, specifically under CPV code 85111200, and is set to serve the UKJ2 region, particularly at locations like EDGH, Conquest, and remote telephone facilities. The procurement was part of a direct award process under a limited tender method, with the contract awarded on 12th March 2026 and effective from 9th March 2026 for one year until 8th March 2027, with a value of £12,000 annually.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for organisations specialising in emergency medical services, particularly those offering interventional radiology support and consultancy. Companies with expertise in time-critical medical services and who meet the proximity requirements, such as being near blue light ambulance services, are ideally positioned to engage with this procurement. University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, the contract recipient, illustrates a suitable profile for this contract due to their established capabilities in providing emergency radiology services. Businesses in the medical services sector could benefit from similar procurement opportunities to expand their offerings and forge partnerships with healthcare trusts.
